So, apparently shit post mods will just remove posts with positive upvotes without any mod mail or explanation.
As per title, submitted a post here that as far as I'm aware met all the rules, it had positive momentum before I went to bed, wake up and no post and no messages or notification that it was removed or why except that it's just gone. Discuss.
Looking at the post, it didn't fit the community, but it would also have broken Rule 1. Lemmy Shitpost is for Shitposts. Instigating discussion on heavy topics is not the purpose of this community
There are places for those kinds of posts, this is not it. I pride myself in keeping this place respectful, no matter where you stand politically. Posts that break the rules will be removed and I stand by my moderators decision on this one.
You're welcome to to your opinion and I will not be removing/locking this post unless it devolves into rule breaking.
Thank you for keeping the sub on topic!
That's perfectly fine. I'm just trying to identify that there is a problem because as a new user to a new platform none of that is made apparent, lack of communication and information about this has just made me less likely to even try and enagage due to a lack of clarity on how the rules are enforced.
Without some notification, as a new user I don't even know for sure that it's mod action and wouldn't have without making this post.
new user to a new platform
Yeah. We’re all just starting here. These fedi apps are barely holding together. Techs been around for a bit but never this many users. We have a lot of work to do. Everyone from the devs to the hosters and the mods. Honestly maybe it is best to just walk away if you’re getting this upset.
Hi. I am the mod who removed your initial post. Frankly, It didn't fit the content of this sub. Allowing it to stay would set a bad precedent for future posts. There has to be quality control in a place. As Aer said below, we want to keep a light hearted atmosphere around here.
Positive momentum doesn't factor for posts that do not fit. If anything, it only encourages sooner action because leaving it up will have more people making similar posts.
I stand by my decision to remove your post. I hope you understand. There's other places where you can post it.
That's fine, I'm absolutely OK with that decision. It would have been nice to have some sort of notification of the mod action that I could see and access from Jerboa to prevent confusion, and I'm now aware that it's a limitation or oversight of the current state of development of the fediverse.
It just would have just been nice if all this information was made more readily available rather than having to go through having a post removed and left in the dark as a new user.
Read the modlog: "I don't this fits the content of lemmy shitposting."
What mod log? How do I view this on jerboa? Why don't I receive a notification of mod action?
It's on the bottom of the page on web, it's a log of moderator activity. Can't view on jerboa, and probably nobody programmed a notification like that, either not having time or just nobody thought to
going to go with the mods on this one, if you think that was a shit post you need to take another look at the other posts in the sub.
you can make that joke I bet, just don't do it badly and remember, divisive stuff has a high likelyhood of being nuked on most of fedi.
these rules are broad and common.
I forgot that reality was divisive.
I still don't see which of those rules my post breaks. I still don't know why my post was removed. You can make assumptions, we both can, but until I understand the reasoning it just appears like my post disappeared due to a bug and I'll probably be tempted to repost it to make sure it isn't.
What was the post?
I'd repeat it but I don't know if it was removed by a mod or by a bug without clarification and prefer not to risk a ban if it was mod action.
I had a particularly shitty post of my own shadow-removed as well.
Trust me, the post was plenty shit.
Also i agree that the mods are a bit quick to delete posts, there was a post about anti-abortion people or something that i was having a good conversation in which got deleted too
having a conversation in a shitpost?
thats a paddlin
😩😩😩
What if the other person thinks what i'm posting is shitty? 🧐
I just checked and all my previous posts here have their image contents removed (but not the posts themselves). This is without notifying me in any way, and I just realized this after seeing this post.
